FRANTIC HUNT

Infant Abducted From New Mexico Double Murder Scene Is Found

Eleia Maria Torres’s mother was killed, along with another woman, in a New Mexico park.

The 10-month-old baby girl who went missing from a grisly double murder scene has been found, authorities announced Monday. An unnamed suspect has been taken into custody.

New Mexico police believe Eleia Maria Torres was abducted by the person who killed her mother and another woman and left her 5-year-old sister wounded three days earlier.

An Amber Alert was issued for Eleia Maria Torres after the grim discovery at Ned Houk Park in Clovis on Friday afternoon.

Police found the two women, Samantha Cisneros and Taryn Allen, shot dead, a child covered in blood, and an empty stroller and other baby supplies that led them to believe Cisneros’s infant, Eleia, had been kidnapped.

Authorities have not named a suspect but believe the killer may have fled the scene in a maroon Honda.

Police also found five puppies in the victims’ vehicle.

“We do know they were supposed to be at Walmart, from what family members knew, selling puppies,” Clovis Deputy Police Chief Trevor Thron said.

“Everybody thought they were at Walmart with the puppies. We’re not sure if they were at Walmart and then went to Ned Houk, we just don’t know.”
